Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a Buyers Agent?
A Buyers Agent (or Buyers Advocate) is a licensed real estate professional who represents the interests of the buyer — not the seller. At Ensure Buyers Agency, we help clients find, evaluate, and negotiate the purchase of residential or investment properties, ensuring you make confident and well-informed decisions.
2. How is a Buyers Agent different from a Selling Agent?
A selling agent works for the vendor to achieve the highest possible sale price, while a buyers agent works exclusively for you, the buyer, to secure the best property at the best price and terms. We represent your interests throughout the entire process.
